Do you prefer working on a laptop or desktop PC?

[Channon]

I prefer desktops generally as they are always faster than the price equivalent laptop.

Nevertheless laptops are usually the option because they are portable and have built in Eskom protection.

I agree. I see it every day (Desktop i3/i5/even i7 always faster than equivalent laptop). Unfortunately I'm "forced" to use a laptop in order to support clients during site visits or while on holiday. Even "higher end" laptops, while certainly quicker, can't seem to match desktop performance.

Laptop with a dock and external screens, mouse, keyboard. Which poll option is that?

That's the option I use but voted laptop!!

Laptop only for me, but there is a caveat. I only use a laptop with an external monitor which is raised above the laptop's primary screen. At home where I do the majority of my work, the monitor is in fact a 40" wall-mounted Telefunken LCD TV. Works a charm

I enjoy typing word documents using the PS4 controller and onscreen keyboard.

I enjoy typing word documents using the PS4 controller and onscreen keyboard.

It’s a must for contracts in excess of 100 pages.

No laptop or desktop could ever handle those.

PC with keyboard at a desk without a doubt imho.

+1, I don't really like laptops. Applied for one now only because I need to lug it with me for work, otherwise no.

In my company, a laptop is a status symbol. Here's people (power users) that actually needs a powerful desktop, because of the huge amount of data they pull into excel spreadsheets and Power pivots, via macros etc.
But no, they want a laptop and complain everyday about it being slow, while they have 10 excel spreadsheets/power pivots open.
